    You are both wrong! Terribly wrong!

    It is all Anneliese Klietmann!!! She's crakinbg out oaks, swords, Godet RK (haha!!!) and all the above!

    The puzzling thing is this, however: she doesn't seem to sell them.....

      Now beat me silly!!!! It WAS YOU ALL THE TIME!!!!!


      But seriously! Pieter is right. The RK and up is the easiest of all medals. And there are no restrikes of the Godet oaks and swords and RK nor are there any of the Juncker.

        Pieter,
        I can't say that everything was destroyed because I wasn't there but since there is no REAL proof either way i.e. dies destroyed or not, then one must look at the probability. What are the chances of the dies surviving?
        This is how I see it.

        FACT: Juncker factory main target of the RAF. Heavily bombed. Major damage.
        Chances of dies intact: Slim..... but possible.

        GRAPEVINE: Man with black beard and hat told Mr.X that he had heard from an unknown source that the KC dies survived.
        Chances of dies intact: .........Hmmmm....Well I know my answer. Of course I could be wrong but I give myself only a small chance of that based on the above.

          I give up! I'm about to buy a KC and then I come across this thread. Think I'll collect spoons instead.

            Hi Andrew, please if you want to buy a KC, just order the KC book from Dietrich and i am sure you can sleep on both ears when buying a KC.
            I can only agree with this statement made by my friend Pieter

            "I made this previous post because I'm realy fed up with these rumours on surviving dies, restrikes...etc.
            I can assure you, if you would know how many dies the war survived...you would be surprised. I've got a lot of dies in my collection too. And you would be surprised which ones...
            You may have the die, but this doesn't mean you will be able to make perfect copys!"

            Thanks
            Kevin

                Hi Kevin,
                Oh I have ordered and paid for Dietrich's book months ago. I can't wait to get it. I suppose it's just the shock of finding out now that there are surviving juncker dies. But as Pieter said that doesn't mean you can make perfect copies. I can live with that.

                As for the spoon collecting, I think I'll give it a miss. Darrell has the dies and is probably pumping out copies as we speak.

                Regards,
                AB.

                      Andrew,

                      your book no.72 goes out tomorrow for sure and when you have it in a couple of days you will see that there is no perfect copy - just very bad copies (if that at all). Just doesn't exist. No, Nein, Njet, Non,...

                      I promiss! You will see!

                        All of a sudden I feel much better.
                        I'll shut up now.

                            Hi.

                            I am also going to buy a KC soon and I would like to own a used one.
                            Of all the KC is it the "Junker" that is the most safe one to buy ?

                              Derek,

                              I think that all the officialy ordered and therfore awarded RKs are safe. This means Juncker, Schickle, Zimmermann, Godet (if you ever see one), 3/4 ring, and even S&L (A-Type and 935-4) and even K&Q.

                              There will always be stupid rumors about everything. If one knows what to look for and what a genuine cross has to show - it is a piece of cake!

                              Even the oaks and the swords!
